Amazing… I love the sound. Nailed the Beatles’s aesthetic. Remands me of other bands trying with a British pop sensibilities like Apples In Stereo. Hope Rob has heard your band. What a double billing Red Button and Apples In Stereo. I have been turning on all my friends. Best band come along since Dungen. I also put your Cruel Girl video on an Auction site i designed right on home page… Just spreading the word.

If it wasn’t for The Steve Hoffman Forum I would have lived a life devoid of the opportunity to hear the most remarkably Beatlesque sounds I’ve had the pleasure to wrap my ears around.
But luckily for me, I got tuned in and I – as a Beatles fanatic since the ripe old age of 3 years and 11 months (my earliest memory was mum calling us down from our beds to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan) – am in Beatle Heaven. And that’s a great place to be… especially at this moment in time, with the Remasters less then a month away.
And now that I’m a Red Buttonian, a new album at the same time?! I can hardly contain my excitement!! Hooray and Huzzah! It’s certainly good to be alive…

Wow-Just Wow! I found your first album on Amazon as I was jumping around looking for new music. I listened to two tracks and about fell out of my chair. This is the kind of music I miss the most!
I just turned 50 the end of last year and I listen to all kinds of music. You guy’s just blow me away. I bought the MP3 album – next its the real CD. I hope you guys keep going and do really-really well!

Hey hey!
I am in love with you guys. I hope your next album is as great as the first, and I cannot wait for it to be released!! Please upload some samples from the new album via myspace.com.
Take care!!

Hi Seth,
You can thank SPEED RACER for me discovering THE RED BUTTON. They played CRUEL GIRL at the theater as part of the pre-movie trailer program before the lights went down.
Great vibe and made me smile that someone out there still "gets it"!!!
Best of fortune to you in the years to come!
Let me know next time you guys are playing a local gig. I’ll get HofnersIn LA and Grinch to come along, as we are all valley boys!!!
Brian Penikas

I heard you guys for the first time while waiting for a movie to start and thought I had been taken back to the 60’s!!! I just bought the album and can’t wait to listen to it. These are the nicest most melodic tunes I’ve heard coming from this generation in a long long time. I’m 60 and I’ve heard a lot. I am a hobbiest song writer and musician with a lifetime influence by Brian Wilson whom I have gotten to know a little. It sure is great to hear good music from this generation!!

I’m another one of those who first heard your music on Sirius Radio’s Garage Channel.
This is what critics mean when they write about “reasons for living.” My belief that great music is still out there has been rewarded. This is the kind of record that you want to buy a bunch of and hand them out to friends. In a perfect world, this is what truly “pop” music would sound like. I’ve had the disc for a few weeks, and must have spun it ten times. For fans of melodic rock with hooks and harmonies and clever 60’s-laced influences, we would be hard-pressed to find anything better. Need I add that I’m very excited to hear your next record? Thanks for the joy “She’s About to Cross My Mind” has brought me.

Zoinks! Like wow! An incredible PowerPop masterpiece! I hope you guys know that you’ve already earned a place in my mind alongside the PowerPop greats, like the Knack, JellyFish, Big Star, The Records, etc. Heck, this album stands solid next to any ORIGINAL british invasion release as well! I’m talkin’ head to head with the Beatles for cryin’ out loud!
Thanks for making my year. Maybe good music isn’t gone forever ater all!

Hey Red Button!
I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
I know I’m thankful I have my Red Button CD in the car for the drive to New Jersey today!
Have a great holiday and thanks for all the fantastic music!
Neptune Girl 🙂

Hi Seth,

Hello, I just heard “cruel girl” on Sirius channel 25 (garage?) anyway I love it… where can I get a copy of this Beatlesque goodness? Its refreshing to finally hear something new that doesnt sound reguritated and doesnt sound like every other band playing on standard radio. Cant wait to hear more of the album.

From a Baltimore fan
Cruel Girl has got to be the best song of 2007! I’ve been catching it on Underground Garage and everytime it’s on I stop what I’m doing and enjoy. Rest of the album kicks equally!
I’m a fan!
Thanks loads.

Any band that can embrace the tenets of the three B’s (Beatles, Byrds and Badfinger) are OK in my book. This band far exceeds OK. This is just an awesome power pop classic. I can’t stop listening. It lifts up my heart! Come to Philly. Please!!

Hey Guys,
i recently bought your album, she’s about to cross my mind, which is really blowin’ my mind. i’m writin’ now to thank you for putting such cool music out into the world.
your fan,
Mike Renick

I caught ‘Cruel Girl’ on Little Steven’s show driving back from the beach and asked out loud “how in the world did I miss this ‘lost’ Badfinger track?” The influence is pronounced… Absolutely, fantastic!

I also heard “Cruel Girl” on Little Steven’s Underground Garage! And immediately went home and ordered it and it came today, and we are all amazed at how fantastic it is. Definitely a group I”ve been waiting for, and I”m going to turn my kids on to it (they’re in college) so they know what a cool mom I am.

I, like many listeners, caught wind of this beauty, Cruel Girl, on Little Steven’s show on Sirius 25. Harmonies, jangly guitars and a chorus to die for. When I first heard it, I thought it was Enuff Znuff (a good thing to me). Keep ’em coming guys!!

Hey, Bobby Emmons here from WIBG radio in New Jersey. I just wanted to mention that I will be spinning Cruel Girl this Saturday at 4pm EST on my radio program. The program will also feature an interview with Little Anthony and the Imperials. You can listen live at www.wibg.com Bobby

So it finally arrived, such a beautiful and splendid album… I want to play this on the radio right now!! Thanks again, not only for sending this cd to me, but for making brighter days with such beautiful songs…

These songs are phenomenally groovy!
Seriously, these songs are great. There are a lot of bands that are trying to emulate this mid-60’s pop sound but I rarely get into them, because its mostly form rather than content.
As always , its the songwriting that counts.
Kudos to you, and looking forward to hearing more!

These lyrics are so rich its as if they have their own color tone. You will never think of the hard times in life listening to these songs which is why I think they resonate with people. Each song has its own voice and if you really listen, they will speak to you.

I discovered your music thanks to the glowing review in the latest SHINDIG online reviews section. Great stuff! I grew up in the LA area, where my high school mates and I had our own garage band “The Far End” circa ’66-’68, with one living room recording for posterity (and laughs.) I like to say, “there is more great ’60s music available today than in the 60s! I’m in Seattle now, where the Green Pajamas occasionally come out to play. Keep up the good work — the world needs this music.

AHHHH! Button, I love it!!! It is so beautiful. You are the men. 🙂 Just incredible!!!! I am supposed to be getting ready to hop on a plane to New York and I can’t peel myself away from the new music! It’s on fire.

Hey! Was searching for some hidden treasures in the music world on the internet and came across Seth and Mike and your Button creation. Much appreciated if you keep the PowerPop baby alive and kicking!

I have to say that for the first time in years someone has actually blown my mind. Finally melody, harmonies, hooks and bridges have combined to create some of the coolest music I have ever heard. Guys your sound is addictive…I am so happy to have found you guys.
“E””

Seth & Mike, this is just AWESOME stuff! You guys are a throwback to an era that is very near and dear to my heart. It’s like 60’s music with today’s technological clarity! I wish you all the success you deserve. Thanks for taking me back with your incredible sound, while proving that great pop songs can still be written and properly produced. Best Always, Vince

I love your cd so much. I can’t explain exactly the reason, it just makes me really feel good. It’s the only one that plays where I work that doesn’t have people asking to turn it down or off. It’s really loved universally.

We, (my family and I) have been listening to this album non stop after one of my boys yesterday played the songs for all of us to hear. Our family and friends love it and it is truly a terrific batch of tunes.

Being a Monkees fan myself I cant help but hear the similarities. Even still, I think you guys sound even more like the Beatles and I probably could not give a better compliment. Keep up the great work.

Hey Seth and Mike! Boy this music reminds me so much of what I used to sing with my friends, and with the huge lot of 45’s I have from those days you can see your influence throughout all of em. I’m purchasing the cd now to have as my summer record.

Been playing the hell out of your excellent record last week on the air. How are the sales going? Its getting GREAT approval from all my listeners. I’ve been urging them all to buy such a hip pop album!

Boys I have to tip my hat to your pop-tacular talent.. Recently got your album along with ‘Instant Pleasure’ and they have not left the CD player since. All my best and keep pavin’ the way with your pop…

Brilliant stuff Button. Little did I know I’d hear you while taking a bath from my boyfriend playing it in the other room. I hope you get all the success in the world because no group deserves it more right now. Just great.

!! I must say great album! Top to bottom the new CD is terrific! Not since ‘Hard Days Night’ have I heard that much 12 string Rickenbacker on an entire record, which, as we all know, doesn’t get any better!

Sigh… these songs remind me of my concert days. When you hear
powerpop and think of all the shows youve been to its a ‘job’ you
never want to retire from.. Some of the best times of my life were
listening to similar love lyrics under the stars some years ago..
thank you

Hey this is Steve Perenza and just wanted to tell you how much I like
your music and enjoy its positive spin. It stands out in the
negative music world these days talking about death and destruction.
Instead this is about fun and heartbreak, things we can all relate
to. glad my friend referred me to you guys, thank you.

The Red Button, its been awhile, how are things? I cant seem to
stray from your creative energy for long can I? I really enjoy the
lyrics and flow of Floating By. Hopes Up is a very crisp track and
Free sounds like its from Paul Mccartney himself. Cruel girl though
is your guys’ most flawless song. The melody clicks and its one of
those songs that you know from the opening seconds its complete.
Keep it up from one of your biggest fans..

the spinning vinyl record is undyingly clever. no matter what anyone says, there is just something about the sounds of cds that will never quite match the feeling of hearing a new vinyl. if only i could hear some of these tracks on your album in all its spinning glory…
